The single engine aircraft came down at around 12.45pm on January 8 in a field near Overbury, Tewkesbury.

Emergency services landed some distance away from the scene due to foggy conditions and had to be collected and taken to the scene by car.

A statement from West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "Due to the foggy conditions at the time, the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham, with a doctor and critical care paramedic on board, had landed a couple of miles from the crash scene and were picked up by a paramedic officer in a car and were taken to the scene.

"Two ambulances and a second paramedic officer also attended."

"Sadly, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save either man and they were both confirmed dead at the scene."

West Mercia Police said a scene guard and a cordon are in place at the scene of the incident and are likely to remain there overnight.
